Using Vibration Analysis to Determine Refrigerant Levels In an Automotive Air Conditioning System

Presently, auto manufacturers do not have do not have efficient or accurate methods to determine the amount of refrigerant (R-134a) in an air conditioning system of an automobile. In the research presented, vibration analysis is examined as a possible method to determine this R-134a amount. Initial...
